[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a big push to “pause” the process to allow community input and to explore alternatives. The decision making process that led them here was flawed, but even if there is a “pause”, the same conclusion could be ultimately reached. [/quote]

I think they are a little late in organizing, but it does seem like the boundary process outcome was Shaw MS, and now that is being whisked away with very little parent input at all.  Why have a formal process if the outcome can be waved away like that? The boundary documents should mean something.[/quote]

How many DMEs ago was that? How many Chancellors? How many mayors?[/quote]

I don't think that should matter.  And I think they should be called out for not engaging parents in this decision even if there had been no prior commitment whatsoever.  Their parent engagement is a joke.[/quote]

True - but they DID engage the parents who have children who will be immediately affected by this (Banneker).

There isn't a need for a "Shaw middle" for years; even your Pk3 students will never have an opportunity to attend because the demand is so far off. They are not opening yet another school in the next decade when Cardozo middle grades and HS are so under capacity.

Yes they should have talked to you, but you'd still be mad bc you'd realized that Shaw middle for any child who has already been born isn't happening.[/quote]
